Welcome, Dr. Yam, to Notre Dame! I hope you come to love Notre Dame as much as I do, through its mission and vision. As I prepare to defend my PhD at another area institution, it is my Notre Dame education that is my foundation. Notre Dame has provided me the skills to be an independent learner and a critical thinker, work in interdisciplinary teams and always think, “How will this affect others?” Good luck and best wishes.Michelle Campbell ’01
